Projection-based bolus detection for computed tomographic angiography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computed tomographic (CT) angiography is important for imaging studies on cardiovascular structures, peripheral vessels, and solid organs. In practice, a CT angiography scan is triggered by the bolus arrival at a prespecified anatomical location, which is determined using CT fluoroscopy. In this article, we propose a projection-based method adapted from the Grangeat formula to detect the bolus arrival. Then, we evaluate our new method in numerical and animal studies. Our results indicate that this method allows significantly better temporal resolution and is computationally more efficient, as compared with the image-based methods.

BACKGROUND Computed tomographic angiography is increasingly used during surgical planning for abdominally based microvascular breast reconstruction. Cost-analysis studies have demonstrated a benefit to the use of computed tomographic angiography, although the secondary costs of incidental findings have not been previously reported. This study investigates the cost of computed tomographic angiog...
